Exhibit B
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PLACEMENT OPTIONS
1. | Subject to satisfaction of the Conditions, the Placement Options shall be issued for nil cash
consideration. Each Placement Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid
ordinary share (Share) in Unilife Medical Solutions Limited (Company).The Placement Options
granted to each subscriber under the Offering shall be issued in two equal tranches as
follows: |
1.1 | Tranche 1: the exercise price for each Placement Option is A$1.25 |
||
1.2 | Tranche 2: the exercise price for each Placement Option is A$2.00 |
The exercise price for any Placement Option shall be payable in full on exercise of the
Placement Option.
2. | The Placement Options shall be exercisable at any time from the date of grant until the third
anniversary of the date of grant (Exercise Period). |
3. | If the Placement Option is not exercised on or prior to the expiry of the Exercise Period,
the Placement Option will automatically lapse. |
4. | A certificate shall be issued for the Placement Options. Each certificate will bear a legend
stating that it and the Underlying Shares have not been registered under the US Securities Act
and that such option may not be exercised by or on behalf of any US person unless registered
under the US Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available and (ii) upon
exercise of such option, the Optionholder will be required to give a written certification
that he/she is outside the US and that he/she is not a US person and that the Placement Option
is not being exercised on behalf of a US person. |
5. | Placement Options shall be exercisable by notice in writing to the registered office of the
Company accompanied by the holder’s option certificate. The notice must state the number of
Placement Options being exercised (in multiples of 20,000 or where the number of Placement
Options held is less than 20,000 such lesser amount). If the notice does not state the number
of Placement Options being exercised, the notice shall be void and the Company shall request
the Optionholder to provide a further notice. |
6. | The Optionholder shall either: |
(a) | include with the notice to the Company referred to in clause 5, a cheque
payable to the Company; or |
(b) | at the time of issuing the notice to the Company referred to in clause 5,
arrange for an electronic funds transfer directly into an account nominated by the
Company, |
for the total exercise price of the Placement Options being exercised.
7. | Upon receipt of a valid notice in accordance with clause 5 and subject to the Company
receiving cleared funds from the Optionholder in accordance with clause 6, the Company must
issue the requisite number of Shares in the name of the Optionholder and update its share
register to record the Optionholder as the holder of that number of Shares equal to the number
of Placement Options exercised within five (5) business days of the exercise of the Placement
Option. |
9. | Shares issued pursuant to an exercise of Placement Options shall rank equally in all respects
with existing Shares of the Company from the date of allotment. |
10. | An Optionholder may not sell, transfer, assign, give or otherwise dispose of, in equity or in
law, the benefit of some or all of the Placement Options without the prior written consent of
the Board. |
11. | If Shares of the class are quoted, the Company shall, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule
2.8, make application to have Shares issued pursuant to an exercise of Placement Options
listed for official quotation. |
12. | If Placement Options are exercised before the record date of an entitlement, Optionholders
can participate in a pro rata issue to the holders of Shares in the Company. |
13. | Optionholders do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities by the Company
without exercising Placement Options. |
14. | In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, in the event of any reorganisation of capital of
the Company, the rights of the Optionholder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply
with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the
reorganisation. |
15. | The Placement Options will not give any right to participate in dividends until Shares are
allotted pursuant to the exercise of the relevant Placement Options. |
16. | In the event that an issue of Shares is made to the holders of securities in the Company
(excluding a bonus issue), the exercise price of the Placement Options will be reduced in
accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.22. |
17. | The number of Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Placement Options will be
adjusted for bonus issues made prior to exercise of Placement Options. The effect will be
that upon exercise of the Placement Options, the number of Shares received by the Optionholder
will be increased by the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued to such holder if
the Placement Options had been exercised prior to the record date for the bonus issue. The
exercise price of the Placement Options will not change as a result of any such bonus issue. |
18. | If there has been a Change in Ownership or the Board concludes that the replacement of the
majority of the Board is imminent, the Board must resolve to notify the Optionholder that all
Placement Options may be exercised prior to 5pm (Sydney time) on the 90th day after
the date of the notice (or by such earlier date as the Board determines). |
19. | Subject always to clause 21 below, a ‘Change in Ownership’ shall occur if: |
(a) a person acquires a relevant interest (within the meaning of section 608 of the
Corporations Act 2001) in more than fifty per cent (50%) of the Shares in the Company as a
result of a takeover bid;
(b) a person acquires a relevant interest (within the meaning of section 608 of the
Corporations Act 2001) in more than fifty per cent (50%) of the Shares in the Company as a
result of a scheme of arrangement;
(c) through the acquisition of Shares in the Company a person is able to determine the
majority composition of the Board; or
(d) any other event (including, but not limited to, a merger of the Company with another
company) which the Board determines, in its absolute discretion, to be a Change in
ownership.
20. | A ‘Change in Ownership’ does not include, unless otherwise determined by the Board, either an
internal restructure of the Company’s group or a transaction whereby the Company’s group is
redomiciled by imposing a new parent company of the Company’s group (including where such
transaction is effected by a scheme of arrangement under the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Cth)).
This exception to a ‘Change in Ownership’ includes a scheme of arrangement pursuant to which: |
(a) a subsidiary of the Company will become the new parent company of the Company; or
(b) the shareholders of the Company on the record date of the scheme of arrangement will
be entitled to be issued shares equal to at least fifty per cent (50%) of the issued
ordinary share capital of the new parent company of the Company on the implementation date
of the scheme of arrangement.
